What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to remember user preferences, and to provide website owners with information about how their site is being used.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to information obtained from cookies. This policy explains the cookies we use and why.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functionality of the site. They enable core features such as page navigation and security. These cookies do not collect personal information and cannot be disabled without affecting site performance. They are usually set in response to your actions — for example, loading a page or submitting a form.

RealEstateSEO.ae is a static site with minimal server-side functionality. Essential cookies on this site are limited to those set by the hosting infrastructure (GitHub Pages) for security and performance purposes.

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with RealEstateSEO.ae. Analytics cookies collect information about which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on each page, where visitors come from (country, referral source), and what devices and browsers are used. This information is used in aggregate to improve the site's content, structure, and usability.

Managing Cookies

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which prevents your data from being included in Google Analytics reports for all websites.
